    CENTER FOR AUSTRIAN STUDIES AUSTRIAN STUDIES NEWSLETTER Vol. 18, No. 1 Spring 2006 Reflections on William Fulbright’s legacy by Lonnie Johnson In April 2005, Fulbright commissions all over the world commemorated the centennial anniversary of the birth of J. William Fulbright (1905-1995), the founder of the US government’s flag- ship international educa- tional exchange program. As a junior senator from Arkan- sas, Fulbright endorsed a pro- active internationalist agenda during and after World War II and made a name for him- self not only as an advocate of the United Nations and educational exchange pro- grams, but also as one of the most courageous opponents of Joseph McCarthy. In August 1946, Fulbright was responsible for tagging an amendment on to the Sur- plus Property Act of 1944, which stipulated that for- U.S. Fulbright grantees visiting the Melk Monastery during their orientation program in September 2005. eign income earned overseas by the sale of US wartime property could be used to finance educational Salzburg, Klagenfurt, Linz, Graz, and Vienna, as well as collaborative exchange with other countries.

  • Carmen Cartellieri
    Carmen Cartellieri Also Known As: Franziska Ottilia Cartellieri, Carmen Teschen, Mrs. Emanuel Ziffer Edler von Teschenbruck, Mrs. Mano Ziffer-Teschenbruck Lived: June 28, 1891 - October 17, 1953 Worked as: co-screenwriter, film actress, producer, theatre actress Worked In: Austria, Germany, Hungary by Robert von Dassanowsky Carmen Cartellieri was born Franziska Ottilia Cartellieri in Prossnitz, Austria-Hungary, which is today Prostejov, Czech Republic, but spent her childhood in Innsbruck, Austria. In 1907, at age sixteen, she married the aristocratic artist-turned-director, Emanuel Ziffer Edler von Teschenbruck. Her husband and Cornelius Hintner, a cameraman from South Tyrol who had worked for Pathé in Paris and then as a director in Hungary, helped make her one of the most fashionable stars in German-language film of the 1920s. Using the stage name of Carmen Teschen, she appeared in several Hungarian silent films between 1918 and 1919 and made her Austrian film debut in Hintner’s Die Liebe vom Zigeunerstamme/The Gypsy Girl (1919), which she reportedly cowrote. Political changes in postwar Hungary made her relocate to Vienna where she returned to her exotic surname, suggesting to the press that she was born in Italy, and founded the Cartellieri-Film company in 1920 with her husband and Hintner. The first two Cartellieri-Film productions in Vienna transferred her Hungarian fame into true stardom. Carmen lernt Skifahren/Carmen Learns to Ski (1920), a broad comedy directed by her husband, now known as Mano Ziffer-Teschenbruck, was clearly aimed at gaining Cartellieri wider recognition. Die Würghand/Die Hand des Teufels/The Hand of the Devil (1920), a crime drama set in the mountains and directed by Hintner, was critically praised for its style and narrative effectiveness as well as for Cartellieri’s performance as the femme fatale.

FILM ADAPTATIONS OF THE SECOND AUSTRIAN REPUBLIC CATRIONA FIRTH For many years adaptation has been passed between literature and film studies, frequently dismissed as ‘shadowy copies’ and parasitic reproductions, the unwanted bastard child of the disciplines searching in vain for an academic home. Despite the emergence of insightful new scholarship into the development of Austrian film in the twentieth century, the role of the adaptation genre within Austria’s film industry and literary landscape remains an academic blind spot.

  • Introduction
    Introduction New Austrian Film: Th e Non-exceptional Exception Robert von Dassanowsky and Oliver C. Speck In an article in 2006, the New York Times introduced a series of screenings of Austrian productions with the following statement: “In recent years this tiny country with a population the size of New York City’s has become something like the world capital of feel-bad cinema” (Lim 2006). As the critic portrays the major directors, a picture emerges that probably sums up a common sentiment regarding New Austrian Film: not unlike other cinematic new waves, Austria’s artists are engaged in a bitter fi ght against the prevailing petit-bourgeois mindset of their fellow citizens. From this perspective, however, it must appear that New Austrian Film is caught in a deadlock, a fi ght against its nation’s very image, be it the postwar self-stylization as neutral Austria, Nazi Germany’s fi rst victim, or even the ironic self-perception as a leftover of Kakania, Robert Musil’s famous satirical moniker for the k.und k. (imperial and royal) Austro-Hungarian dual monarchy. In an eff ort to break the illusions of the “offi cial” Austria and its long avoidance of dealing with its fascist past, New Austrian Film is not only highly critical and counter-traditionalist (albeit using traditional genres) but it takes on the very mechanisms of spectatorial trust in cinema. And with a strong female participation that is signifi cantly prominent, we can see how gender aff ects cinematic style and mood in dealing with contemporary dystopias. Despite the challenges to the audience, the reductionist “feel-bad cinema” label is itself only another totalizing concept that current Austrian fi lmmakers would smash.
